[Abby’s Road] From the Ridiculous to a Little Less Ridiculous

Or: Films I took Seriously Back in the Day – a new AR series. Firstly, excuse me for not showing up two weeks ago. My brain wasn’t allowing me to write. It happens. This year marks my 20th year out of high school. While I’m not celebrating it per se, I am thankful for everything… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] From the Ridiculous to a Little Less Ridiculous

[Abby’s Road] You Say Rolls I Say Royce

Munich. I am realizing it is a giant village with a superb international art and music scene rather than a bustling city…and I love it. It was tough adjusting to my new home at first; still is on some days. My lowest moments find me longing for family and friends in the States until it… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] You Say Rolls I Say Royce

[Abby’s Road] Forgivable Misgivings

So I’m back. Guess who else is back? My favorite celibate vegetarian: Stephen Patrick Morrissey. The Smiths – and Mozzer’s voice in general – played an integral part in framing my musical taste. He’s aged incredibly well and though I prefer old images of a smooth, porcelain-faced waif with flowers in his back pocket over… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Forgivable Misgivings

[Abby’s Road] You Eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too.

Have you everything in order? Preparing for post-rapture looting? I have been quite busy passing German language proficiency examinations and job searching to really let the event sink in. For those in DC who’d like to score some sweet stereo equipment after midnight, a friend of mine who’s unsure about the whole shebang will be… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] You Eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too.

[Abby’s Road] You and I are Gonna Live Forever?

Your ultimate top 25; the best EVER mixed tape…the track list of all track lists and what people will remember you by. Ever consider it? Any idea where I am going with this? Ye Ol’ Funeral/Memorial Service Playlist. Got one? Kind of taboo but I’m going to roll with it anyway. In the swirl of… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] You and I are Gonna Live Forever?

[Abby’s Road] Pulling the Plug

The galaxy of sound is deep and wide. My feet, however, are firmly planted on the amplified planets. I like the way electrified music makes my body feel; I like a driving beat, booming basslines and for my innards to flutter under the decibels of a live performance. As kids, it seems we have predisposition… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Pulling the Plug

[Abby’s Road] The Soundtrack of My Life

It changes, as quickly as day turns to night. As a child, even before the inspiration of music videos, while on long car trips in the back seat I remember imagining I was in a movie. Or I guess watching a movie…or watching myself watch a movie. Regardless, sounds of the radio backed the moving… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] The Soundtrack of My Life
